There is still the other aspect of the question, which as I understand
it asks about the possibility of some sort of Csound sequencer
(Cquencer?). Presumably graphic, with lots of drag-n-drop. The issue is,
how might this work, with possibly 50 pfields per event, 47 of which can
be virtually ~anything~ (but which must be correct for the given
instrument)?

What has already been done, that could be developed further (ZIPI?
NetSound?)? What is the simplest design that would be musically useful,
and yet a step further than MIDI?
